Have a few chars only 1 good my lightning rod deadeye 85 clearing 15s... well trying to still doing something wrong still dying would like to learn from friends

run acrobatics passive, get high evasion, high life, 75allres

If you have that and still dying, it's most likely a skill issue. (knowing fight mechanics, when to dodge etc)

General
levels 80-90 is relatively rough for deadeye on a budget and you die every 10-15 maps or so even if you built it right.
Make sure you freeze/shatter enemies (essence of mountain anoint is really important). Either cast on freeze or have high cold damage double heralds.
Dont follow Fubgun, who everyone seems to be following. We dont have 23451234 divines and need survivability. The guy is lvl 98 and still dying every 10-15 maps because he focuses now on making currency and exploring.
Dont ignore jewels, you will get ALOT of damage with a relatively cheap timeless jewel (its 20% dps increase almost for me on light arrow)

you should run energy shield and Atiziri helm + a large ES/Evasion base. You will be unkillable almost.
Alternative to ES - run acrobatics passive, get high evasion, high life, 75allres; You will STILL die to one shots on nasty maps from bosses, especially if you switch out to thief's torment on bosses

Map tips
Never run "increased ailment threshold", it makes freeze too difficult and you have to really concentrate to not die (assuming youre budget build).
Never run burning ground - just because its quality of life

I will add "monsters have high accuracy" especially in maps like vaal temple (factory?) Where they already have high accuracy.

ISO you build guide

sadly i didnt write one, and everything is going to probably change on mon/tues if patch notes come out.

If you have exported your build or need specific advice (like im not freezing), i have crap DPS (10-30k), i have only 2k life, i dont know what unique jewel to buy or how to buy it etc, i can probably help you out. (Maxroll load your gear into builder and send to me a link - takes 2-3 mins)

Note, im not actually playing lightning arrow/rod atm and using a immortal energy shield 7k EHP build with 300% rarity and spiral volley.
